Would love to upgrade from my M1 Mac Mini, which is beginning to feel a little laggy. But doing so would mean switching to Tahoe and that's a dealbreaker. I know I'm not the only one holding back too. I wonder whether Cupertino appreciates that the 26 boondoggle is costing them hardware sales.

Really? That's not what a "genius" at the Apple Store told me.

Edited to add: Just called Apple Support. Was told that new M4 Mac Minis ship with OS26. Refurbished models that shipped prior to September will be running OS18 but there's no way to know when ordering and there's a good chance (50-50 in the CSR's estimation) that you'll end up with an OS26 model.
You need to create a USB bootable installer.
However, it will leave the "Tahoe firmware" installed (should not be a problem in general).
